John Maus - Hey Moon

Though not the original rendition of the music scene in ''The Man Who Would Never Be What They Made Him to Be'', I think ''Hey Moon'' lends a look into the more tragic part of the citizen's situation. The ''Cop Killer'' Performance has a feeling of hatred and anger, whereas the ''Hey Moon'' Performance is more tragic and melancholic. The citizen has had years of his life stripped away. With his old house now in ruins, he stands to fully understand what has happened to him. The voices from past memories come back to haunt him, and he stands alone and can only remember the words that were said 20 years ago. ''Hey citizen, you're going to jail!'' and ''10 years federal maximum security prison'' rings in his head. He looks up at the ruins of his home once beaming with life and pride he had in his heart that this place was his. ''10 years, 20 years, let's make it 200 years . . . .'' he mutters to himself. As he approaches the bed, The anger in him rises and rises to a point where he flings himself on top of it and then tears it apart bit by bit. The calm tune plays as John Maus (who I think in this sketch represents the citizen's emotions) screams into the microphone, yet none of his screams can be heard no matter how loud. ''Hey moon, it's just you and me tonight . . . .'' could mean that when the citizen is alone on his bed, he feels truly alone in this world. The bed is etched with the words ''TO GO TO BED FOREVER'' showing us what he wants now.
